Do you know of any zoo-related films/books/other media? (self.zoophilia)

I've become somewhat fascinated with learning more about my feelings in regards to zoophilia, and I've downloaded a few movies that I found pretty interesting:
Animal Passions - A British documentary on zoophilia presenting various personal, religious, psychological, and sociological views on the phenomenon of sexual relations between humans and other animals.
Zoo - A look at the life of an Enumclaw, Washington man (aka Mr. Hands) who died as a result of an unusual encounter with a horse.
Coming Soon - Haven't watched it yet, but you can see it for free here.
Let me know if you know of any others!
I don't know any, but I think I'll look into it. Thanks for sharing.
Equus has included some notable actors (George Takei, Leonard Nemoy, Daniel Radcliffe).
It is a story of a psychiatrist who attempts to treat a young man who has a pathological religious/sexual fascination with horses.
Do you know if that 1977 film adaptation is any good?
I haven't seen any of them. Yet.
Ah, cool. I may check it out after I get through the other movies in my torrent queue, here :p
Here's a link to Coming Soon. You can stream the film right off the website, for those of you who'd like to watch.
Also, here are some links to Animal Passions on Youtube, in four parts:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
For the love of god, stay away from the Youtube comments :P
Books:
Understanding Bestiality and Zoophilia, by Hani Miletski. A good and interesting read. Half the book revolves around the history of zoophilia, the other half being a survey of several zoophiles.
Dearest Pet, by Midas Dekkers. More of a scholarly read, and not all that interesting to me, IMHO. Worth reading once, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.
The Horseman: Obsessions of a Zoophile, by Mark Matthews. A personal account by one of the guys in the Animal Passions documentary, who was probably the most well-known zoophile before the Mr. Hands incident. Worth a read, unless horses really aren't your thing.
A Passion in the Desert, by Balzac. Short story, kind of more just hints at zoophilia, but decent, IIRC.
The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? Play by Edward Albee. I haven't read this one.
Movies:
Sleeping Dogs Lie, a movie about a woman who tells her fiance she once fooled around with a dog. It's not exactly pro-zoophilia, but is an interesting watch.
Porndogs: the Adventures of Sadie. I haven't seen it, don't think it's supposed to be that great, and it seems to entail a lot of lowbrow humor, but sounds to have a lot of in-jokes canine zoos might like ;)
TV shows:
Family Guy apparently has numerous references. South Park has a few episodes that always make me smirk. And apparently, there's some British comedy show where one character is zoo, and it's mostly played for laughs; I don't remember the name of it though.
Oh good one, I forgot about that book.
Aaaand I just watched the trailer for Porndogs. I need to find a copy right now.
Dearest Pet. It is a "history" of bestiality in art and culture. Not great, but one of only a few out there.
Interesting.
Passion in the Desert - a move about a man and a leopard. Not very good, but it does have some very interesting scenes.
